[Speex-dev] ARM7 decode resource requirements

[Anderton, John]

Hi Tom

Thanks, just at the feasibility phase right now, so this sort of info is
really useful. 

Memory/MHz values for the Tremor/Vorbis code seem to vary wildly - at least
I could not find a consistent set of numbers after trawling through the
discussion groups...

Thanks 
John

  I am have just started with Speex and ARM but I have been able to get it
to Decode wideband on a Philips LPC2138 (60 MHz) board using about 100k
coded space, 20k ram (had to change a few constants to get the memory down
to this)  and about half the performance (takes about 10ms to decode 20ms of
speech).  I have been told there is some floating point in the wideband
(from Jean-Marc) but since it runs for me have not done any more (plus the
project is now on the backburner).
 I hope to test it on an Atmel AT91Sam7S256 part soon. (I have a eval board
of each)

I am using the GCC compiler in the CrossWorks toolset.

I would be interest to hear how it all works out for you.   I would
also like to try the Tremor code on the Arm7 but have not got the chance
yet.

Good luck
Tom
